    I operate a J170D and have my loading graphs downloaded onto Avplan and have had the parameters checked against my POH figures. I check that the C of G is within the envelope at tkof, ZFW, and landing before tkof. If the C of G remains within the envelope at all stages of flight, then i am safe and legal. It doesnt matter to me if the Cof G moves close the the fore or aft limits, just that it stays wholly within the envelope. You can do the same with a J230 without having to worry about bags of concrete. Just load the aircraft within limits and if your calcs show too far fwd or aft, then adjust by reducing fuel, baggage, or both. Very easy to do without complex mathematics, and the 2 EFB providers make it a breeze!

    I know in GA Casa has a schedule of items that a Pilot can perform, quite extensive.

    Can an owner/Pilot do Scheduled Oil changes and Inspections on own Aircraft only used privately? Or must this be done by an L1 or 2.
  5. Roscoe
    Yes those Class D Airports become CTAF when the Tower closes so you can operate as if OCTA then.

    RAA Cert holder by itself is not allowed. Must have the other stuff i mentioned.
  7. Roscoe
    There is an exemption at some FTS to allow solo students to go in and out of Class D Airports provided the CFI authorises. The Student must use the FTS Aircraft though and remain within a certain distance of the departure airport. No departing Camden and landing Bankstown in this case. Note to any CFIs reading this........have i got this right?

    And have a look at Bankstown and Camden. Lots of RAA Aircraft going in and out daily. Just call inbound at the designated reporting points and away you go. No Plan required and never has been. RAA require Aircraft fitted with Radio and Transponder, and Pilot qualified with CASA Licence and Medical.

    [quote="NT5224, post: 573083, member: 4473 Yes a Cover is a pain when by yourself in strong winds. Also how to store it when taking it off wet and icy. Ive also noticed small scratches on the perspect when the straps slap it when taking off and putting on in the wind. However the benefits of a good cover outweigh the inconvenience. Avionics are protected from heat and ultra violet damage over time. If you dont have access to a Hangar, good quality well fitting covers is the next best option.

    Location?

    What type of battery pack? The system works well, the only issue is charging the camera.
  13. Roscoe
    Better off getting your mate to hire from a flying school which will save you the angst of worrying how he is operating your aircraft and protects you against possible litigation in the event of an accident.

    In my opinion, not worth the drama when all goes wrong! Insurance will be the main issue.
  15. Roscoe
    Just to clarify, Jab also say MOGAS acceptable but recommend AVGAS in preference due to perceived quality control issues in mogas
  16. Roscoe
    And if you stick to the Manufacturers recommendation, that is good enough for me! Jabiru recommend Avgas and have published very comprehensive reasons as to why. So its Avgas for me in the Jab.

    I purchased a recording Cable from Nflightcam a while ago and generally it works well with the Gopro Hero4 Silver, however the USB charging part does not seem to charge the Camera when connected to a portable battery pack. Not an issue as long as the camera is fully charged before flying. Audio quality is excellent and records all headset and radio conversations which is great for post flight review. Company had no answer as to why it wouldnt charge the camera, they are in the USA and difficult to talk to.

    Downunder, my comment not directed at you personally.... just a lot of talk from others about someone moving to a new role which he is entitled to do. Why so much interest?
  19. Roscoe
    I cant understand all the drama! The Announcement just said he ismoving to a new Role, people do it every day! Why is everybody so concerned?
  20. Roscoe
    We are all agreed! Take it home, its yours.

    If you have a good idea of the wind, the D3 will give you GPS derived ground speed, and you should be able to land safely with power and attitude. You wont be too far out!
  22. Roscoe
    Have a look at the Dynon Pocket Panel D 3 I have the earlier version, it does it all!
  23. Roscoe
    Ive never heard of Wingbug!

    Avplan on your ipad should have everything you need.
  25. Roscoe
    Yes thats correct. I was on the $50 deal for years and when i renewed recently it was gone!
